Glass: Aguas da Amazonia

About this item

Orange Mountain Music is proud to release a new album Aguas da Amazonia in a new orchestral version. In the 1990s Philip Glass composed a ballet for the Brazilian Grupo Corpo titled Seven or Eight Pieces for a Ballet. That music was picked up by the famous percussion group UAKTI and recorded for the album Aguas da Amazonia. Aguas da Amazonia became the launching point and inspiration for arranger Charles Coleman who worked with conductor Kristjan Jarvi on adapting Glass s music for symphony orchestra. This new recording captures Coleman's orchestration in all its majesty showcasing the inherent symphonic possibilities.
